Remember kids:
- Discord is not a place for storing game dev/project materials
- You (probably) don't need Jira
- Your internal deadlines should be BEFORE their final due date
- Don't put up with stuff; speak up
- If someone can't speak up, speak up for them
- Stay a little silly but take no shit

Kaneeka is SO GOOD. Usually I play visual novels and there's only one character I'm into. In Scarlet Hollow, you're spoiled for choice. Everyone is SO good, and interesting, and well-written they're all worth their own playthrough.
Kaneeka Forsyth's life is wasting away running the general store in her dying hometown, her vet school dreams shattered by the sudden death of a parent.
Maybe one day you'll help her work up the courage to take her life back.
Or maybe the two of you will be stuck there together.

Hilarious to see 2000s Battlestar end up on here given the train wreck that show turned into after the first season, and wound up as. What a ridiculous list.

Why use constraints? Developer @insertdisc5 walks us through using constraints as a tool to make your games "juicy." With just a few ingredients, #gamedev can really narrow in and focus on a core idea.

It's never too late to stop using AI.
It doesn't matter what you're using it for, however much you're relying on it, you can stop. There's nothing it does that can't be replaced by other, better methods. You can always learn new skills, it's never too late.

I released my gay horror game last month! Unfortunately, despite sending over 100 emails, no one covered it 😅 And despite a strong start, since it's free, Steam quickly buried it, so it now has almost zero traffic.
It would mean a lot if you'd check it out and share it! It's truly my life's work 🙏

🎥Cinematic cutscenes!

ALSO IT'S FREE.

I've been teaching myself to knit! Part of stepping away from social media more has been giving myself more creative fun things to do rather than doomscrolling mindlessly. This blanket is still a WIP, and I may never do anything more elaborate, but making something with my hands is so rewarding.

Gross. Don't forget to protect yourself by turning this off. Remember, it's not just what you stream; it's YOU. Your likeness, your content, your voice... do you really want someone churning that into a gen ai slop bucket?
Twitch now uses your channel to train generative AI by default.

It's something I've included in all my work contracts, and advise the folks I work with to do the same. You unfortunately cannot always trust folks, especially external companies you haven't worked with before, to honor their word if they tell you they won't use it.

Happy to write a whole essay on @softnotweak.bsky.social's Spirit Swap! It's now one of my favorite indie games b/c of how it let its LGBTQ+ cast be emotionally vulnerable while learning to take care of themselves and each other.
It’s @wordsfromapenn.com back today with a look at Soft Not Weak’s Spirit Swap, which paints queerness as, well, soft, but not weak.
Spirit Swap makes queer softness magical
Soft Not Weak's match-3 game has a simple premise and hidden depths
